Description
“From ocean to ornament!”… This Christmas “Buoyball” has been made with a rescued float from our friends aboard the “Stelissa” who work out of Newlyn Harbour in Cornwall.
The float has a 13cm/5 inch diameter, it was rescued 120miles off Lands End. The ghost gear was causing a marine hazard so the “Stelissa” kindly removed it and landed it all back in Newlyn Harbour. We then collected the tangled mess, cleaned and untangled it all and sprinkled some Cornish Spliced magic.
The float has been threaded onto a section of the salvaged rope, a splice has been made to form a loop and the float then sits on top of the splice. We’ve then added a shiny gold binding knot for some magic sparkle – it is perfect for hanging on your Christmas tree or on a tree in the garden.
Decorating our homes to start the festive season, through to the things that we give as gifts, we strive for a Christmas that won’t cost the earth – literally. So we are especially proud of the Christmas decorations that Cornish Spliced can offer.
All of our Christmas decorations are made from rescued fishing rope and ghost gear salvaged from across Cornwall (or beyond!). They each have a story to tell about their previous life and prevent the materials from going to landfill, incineration or re-entering the sea. So our decorations are not only unique, but the perfect Christmas gift (to yourself or a loved one!) with an environmental conscience.
We have new products constantly joining the Christmas range including our cute “buoyballs”, so do keep an eye on our dedicated Christmas webshop page and social media for goodies under development. Our wreaths and wall-hangings continue to be extremely popular, looking beautiful with little twinkly lights added. Or if there is something unique that you have in mind, you know how we love a challenge, so get in touch.
Have yourself a merry little #GreenChristmas this year and forever, with our decorations that will be treasured for many generations… Cornish Spliced’s decorations are for life, not just for Christmas!
